Well grab a bottle of Jack and get ready to slap your knee 'cause Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott have no idea what they're getting into when they decide to go the community service route. They thought they were getting off light, but boy, were they wrong 'cause here comes McLovin' 2.0 (Improved Nerdier Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master Version) and a rowdy whippersnapper kid.
The kid is mouthy and downright ghetto, which means he's automatically freaking hysterical. Think Everybody Hates Chris but a little less meek and a lot more... Oh wait, nobody watches that show. Here you go (feel free to fast forward to about the 43 second mark). That's basically who this kid was modeled after. I have to give credit where credit is due: It's hard to cram in that many negative stereotypes in one role - bravo sir, bravo. As for everybody else, Stifler is a hoot trying to corral the lad, and Rudd is basically the guy he was in Knocked Up but less lovable and even more of a cynical asshole. McLovin' is still McLovin' and everybody else is a retread from Knocked Up and 40 Year Old Virgin. Gotta love me some consistency.
After some initial conflict, things start turning around as characters mature and actually (tear*) learn and grow from interacting with one another (what with all their bonding over minor felonies and acts of public lewdness). Ultimately we have a feel-good ending. Hoorah!
P.S. Major spoiler alert: The name of the movie is ironic. ROFL.
